MEDITATION - BEST WAY TO RELAX

MEDITATION
Meditation is relaxing of soul along with the body. It is a way in which you can take control of your mind.In day-to-days life where results matter a lot no body has time to think about soul,peace and internal happiness.
Many people have started making meditation as a regular practice to reduce stress.
When we speak of meditation we think that there is just one way to meditate that is sit down and close ur eyes and do concious breathing that's it. But we are wrong there are many ways by which you meditate :-

• Concentrative type :- In this type of meditation we focus on one thing such as an image or listen to the music. It is like a filter where in we discard all the rest of the things and take only one thing which is necessary.
• Mindfulness meditation : - Vipassana is the other name used by the buddhist for this type of meditation. In this you do not concentrate on any one thing but you concentrate on what is happening in and around you. First we can concentrate on our breath and then slowly to the thoughts passing by your mind, the feelings . Here you are supposed to only watch not supposed to analyze or judge.
• Empty minded or mind centred meditation :- This type does not use any emotion. This meditation is a bit difficult as in this we have to make our mind thoughtless.
• Heart-centered :- In this one tries to experience all the emotions simultaneously.
• Simple mantra meditation :- Many people find it easier to keep their mind from wandering if they concentrate on something specific. A mantra can help. This is a word or phrase you repeat as you sit in meditation, and is chosen for you by an experienced master in some traditions. If you are working on this alone, you can use any word or phrase that works for you, and can choose to either repeat it aloud or in your head as you meditate.

There are many other ways of meditations such as Monastic,Active,Passive,Fantasy based,Religion based etc.Now one has to decide which one is suitable for them.

In my next post I'll discuss about the benefits of meditaions.
